It was, as he tells us, a subject of "frequent inquiry among brethren."J Consequently it must have been a new topic. " Brethren" did not understand it. Up to this time evidently, none received baptism, but such as with " choice and knowledge," made a credible profession of their " faith." In this ordinance they publicly " put on Christ." But now, whether infants, or persons too young...
